learned movements are so interesting!</p>Ben9 on ROB-09208 - Wheel EncoderBen9urn:uuid:cffc9d09-05ef-258e-50e8-544d0bf8bb5b2011-02-16T23:00:13-07:00<p>It&rsquo;s possible, but I think it would be very difficult to get something working well. To get a working quadrature encoder, you will need to set up the your wheel so the teeth generate signals approximately 90 degrees out of phase. The height and thickness will also probably affect the results. Pololu has a schematic of the board if you want to better understand how it works.</p>The Beat Worx on ROB-09208 - Wheel EncoderThe Beat Worxurn:uuid:376ebaa4-f13e-f471-5365-57285cfdc8aa2011-02-04T12:20:06-07:00<p>Can this encoder be used at a higher resolution or is it specifically designed for the wheel? (i.e. If I make my own wheel with 32 16 counts per tooth or something like that?)</p>Ben9 on ROB-09208 - Wheel EncoderBen9urn:uuid:92e3c6c3-029d-9ca1-8b13-4489d74989042011-01-04T18:48:52-07:00<p>See the instructions at the bottom of <a href="http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1217" rel="nofollow" >this page</a>, under the section titled &ldquo;Modifying the Encoder for 3.3 V Operation&rdquo;.</p>ryu2112 on ROB-09208 - Wheel Encoderryu2112urn:uuid:ae097f07-a724-96f7-c61c-e112711522732011-01-02T17:45:21-07:00<p>Is shorting R4 all that is need to make this encoder work at 3.3v?<br/>
It also mentions recalibration. How do I do that?<br/>
